Absence of IgG antibodies against Schmallenberg virus in ruminant sera (bovine, goat and sheep) collected in Costa Rica between 2012 and 2014.
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2017-07)
Schmallenberg virus affects ruminants, which causes significant economic losses. The virus is transmitted
through vectors of the genus Culicoides; however, other studies do not rule out the possibility of sexual
transmission ...
Neotropical bats from Costa Rica harbour diverse coronaviruses
(Blackwell, 2015)
Bats are hosts of diverse coronaviruses (CoVs) known to potentially cross the
host–species barrier. For analysing coronavirus diversity in a bat species-rich
country, a total of 421 anal swabs/faecal samples from Costa ...
Seroprevalence and risk factors for equine arboviral infections (Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis, Western Equine Encephalomyelitis, Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis and West Nile Fever) in Costa Rica
(Elsevier, 2016)
To gain a better understanding of the epidemio-
logical situation of arboviral infections in horses in Costa Rica,
a national IgG seroprevalence study was performed in 2013. In
Costa Rica, equine arboviral infections ...
Fine-scale variation in vector host use and force of infection drive localized patterns of West Nile virus transmission
(PLOS ONE, 2011-08-19)
The influence of host diversity on multi-host pathogen transmission and persistence can be confounded by the large
number of species and biological interactions that can characterize many transmission systems. For ...
Assessing changing weather and the El Niño Southern Oscillation impacts on cattle rabies outbreaks and mortality in Costa Rica (1985–2016)
(BMC Veterinary Research, 2018-09-17)
Background: Rabies is a major zoonotic disease affecting humans, domestic and wildlife mammals. Cattle are the
most important domestic animals impacted by rabies virus in the New World, leading to thousands of cattle ...
Globally invasive, withdrawing at home: Aedes albopictus and Aedes japonicus facing the rise of Aedes flavopictus
(Springer, 2016)
It has been suggested that climate change may have
facilitated the global expansion of invasive disease vectors,
since several species have expanded their range as tempera tures have warmed. Here, we present results from ...
Seroprevalence of Viral Infections in Domestic Cats in Costa Rica
(Universidad Nacional, Costa Rica, 2018-12-13)
A cross-sectional survey of a convenient sample of domestic cats from Costa Rica’s greater metropolitan area was carried out
to determine the prevalence of antibodies against feline herpesvirus type 1 (FHV-1), feline ...
